Reviews

“Highly recommended--and not just for children--for anyone who loves old-fashioned, point-and-click, mouse-controlled adventure games with beautiful animation. If you have never before tried any of the Humongous products, then you are in for a pleasant surprise, and you may find yourself sneaking to the computer once your child is sound asleep.”

“I played with Clare for a lot of this game, not because she needed me to, but because we both wanted to. At 8 years old she would certainly be in the top end of the target audience, and my input into what to do next was negligible. She was able to work her way through all the conundrums, with only the occasional nudge. She thought that the game was "just right" as far as the challenges were concerned.”

About This Game

There's more to this case than meets the eye!

Join Freddi Fish and her best friend, Luther, for the grand opening of beautiful Coral Cove Park - But wait! A mysterious sea creature has been seen lurking inside. If the park is to open on time you have to help Freddi and Luther find the clues, solve the puzzles and get to the bottom of this watery predicament.

The Freddi fish series is one of the most critically acclaimed, and greatest series of all time. Freddi Fish 5: The Case of the Creature of Coral Cover, being the most acclaimed game in the series. The graphics, artwork, music, voice acting, plot and more are all perfect, they are better than freddi fish 3! How can you perfect perfection? Freddi fish 5 does just this! I would not recomend buying this game first as it will BLOW YOU OUT OF THE WATER (Hilarious freddi fish reference/general ocean joke) And make the other masterpiece freddi fish games look pale in comparison. However, if you simply want the best of the best, buy this game. The replayibility is great and for 6$ it is a HUGE STEAL. This game is chocked up full of humor, tragedy, suspense, horror, mystery, and MORE! what more could you ask for? The only thing lacking is Multiplayer but that is no issue as the characters almost feel life-life, they became your best friends from the get-go. Freddi and luther have been some of my best pals since I was a child, I feel happy to support such a great game, hopefully you do the same.

I LOOOOOVED this game when I was younger and playing it now, it's still really good! So glad it's on Steam because my computer can't play the physical CD copy that I have since the game is pretty old and the disc got scratched.

Hmm, so I guess I didn't actually play the entire series previously, as I have no recollection of this one at all. Was that good or bad, though?Well, this one's much more like a traditional adventure game; instead of collecting macguffins to do one specific thing it's more one main quest and lots of subquests. It's also longer than the rest of the series, though also a bit slow-paced; there are a lot of screen transitions, enough that I started skipping them halfway into the game.I think that's the main problem; the hub town area is a long string of screens that would've been more effective as one large map with all the submaps attached to it. The randomization here is also not much more than the level of the last game; a few more puzzles change than last time but it's still much more linear than the second or third games were. All in all though still pretty solid, though not the best in the series (maybe because of my nostalgia bias for the ones I had played as a kid.)

This game is so nostalgic to my childhood. It is one of several games that made me into the PC gamer that I am today. As an adult, the gameplay still holds up and is still a fun point and click adventure game. Although I managed to beat it in less than 2 hours, it's still nice to be able to play it again. For a kid growing up today, this would make an excellent introductory PC game for them to play; after all, it is both fun and educational.
